Kindle Notes & Highlights
The only problem with anger is that it burns hot and fast. It doesn’t tend to burn long. Sadness burns long. Grief. Disappointment.
So it was finally happening. The woman I loved had moved on. She was marrying someone else. And the someone else was my brother.
welcome back conrad fisher lmao
“They started dating less than three months after you two broke up. It’s disgusting.”
There was no reason for this to be happening to Benny. It wasn’t God’s plan, and it wasn’t going to make him stronger. And you know what? Maybe it could be worse. But who cares? That was the most unhelpful comment of all. Benny had every right to hate what was happening to him. He had every right to grieve the life and the body he’d lost and to be angry about it, no matter how many countless other scenarios sucked slightly more than this one.
“I’m on lesbian TikTok right now and it is the most glorious place on earth.”
Wouldn’t it be amazing to live like that? To not carry that burden around with you. To not feel constantly overwhelmed and overstimulated and second-guess every little thing.
But Jacob wasn’t like that. He was a hero, but he was the kind that never let anyone know.
“She waited three whole months to start dating your brother and you want her to be happy?” “I love her,” I said. “Of course I want her to be happy.”
“Jacob, I am going to be the best girlfriend you’ve never had.”
I cleared my throat. “This is my girlfriend,” I managed. “I know!” Amy said, a little too brightly. “They told us you had one. We couldn’t believe it.” I don’t think she meant it to come out like that, but it did. I felt Briana tense next to me. “I know what you mean,” Briana said curtly. “When Jacob told me what this party was for, I couldn’t believe that either.”
if you’re with someone who doesn’t speak your language, you’ll spend a lifetime having to translate your soul?
